I'm out of seedling photos until I get home again, so, here's a nice photograph of a succulent that needs and ID (not my specialty, unfortunately).

I've been really busy these past two days with school work, so, I didn't have time to process photos. Anyways, I'm back for now, with more photos!
Here was have an Astrophytum myriostigma 'Onzuka' sown by me from a mix of Astrophytum hybrid seeds from Tristan and C+D (no longer have any idea which of the two as they were mixed in the same pot). Sown back in Feb. 17th, 12015!

More Astrophytum hybrids from the same batch!

I can see why people like these hybrids - from the same batch, and they need a repot:

I had a relatively large batch of these Astrophytum hybrids, so, here's another!

To mix things up, here's a Copiapoa hypogaea? sown from seed I got from someone here on the forums many years ago! (sorry, I forgot!) Sown back in Feb. 8th, 12015!

This one sowing has been very fruitful, which is why I have so many pictures from it! Here's some Astrophytum sp. cv. Fukuryu (Fukuryu is indicated by the ribs in between the ribs)

Cool, photos, I enjoy seeing your updates, keep them coming!

I wasd interested to see Neoweredrmania chilensis as I've just sown these over the weekend (and N. vorwerkii). I was wondereing how you find their cultivation - are they ok with normal care? And how fast are they? The photo gives the impression that the 4 year old may still be very small, say <1cm?

So, I've had them in my typical seedling care. These seedlings were actually stunted by the large one on the left (not in focus) until about an year ago. The large one has gone blind, but is a good 6 or so cm tall, 3 cm or so wide. The smaller ones are around 1 cm wide (not home right now for accurate measurements).
Given my old way of growing seedlings (not very experienced back then), I'd say I can probably get this result in an year or two using my current methods.

Today's picture is a Gymnocalycium hybrid that I grew with the Copiapoa! Sown Feb 8th, 12015!

Here's the slightly-overfilled pot of Ariocarpus retusus ssp trigonus elongatus seedlings I promised a while ago. I need to look around for the actual sow date, but they are around 4 years old?
